The female of any species gives birth to the offspring. Whether it is laying eggs or giving birth to a fully formed baby, females usually have to do the more difficult task when it comes to reproduction. A male’s role in reproduction is pretty much done after fertilizing the eggs. But seahorses are an exception when it comes to this rule.
